Skipping Stones Design Sketch 119 & A Blog Hop

Please scroll down or click here for the latest Ribbon Carousel Challenge

Hello, hello! Today marks another sketch at the Skipping Stones Design Blog and a fabulous blog hop with Scor-Pal! You should have arrived from the Scor-Pal blog. Along with using the Scor-buddy for our cards, the team is focusing on a brand new set called Beautiful Botanicals. I always loved Dandelion Dreams for it's lovely silhouette images and Beautiful Botanicals follows in it's wake, ranking among my favorites. Here is what I created using the sketch and set as well as the Scor-Pal.

Taking the Sor-Buddy from ScorPal, I created a textured background on my card base.

I then stamped the large silhouette image, heat embossed it in white and trimmed it into four equal sections. I mounted those sections onto white cardstock, and adhered them to my card base with foam.

I then took my sentiment, white embossed it, notched the end and adhered it to the card front.

Lastly, I threaded a big button with twine!

Here is a look at the sketch by Angi Barr, our guest sketch artist for March:

This is great! I love the diagonal lines you scored on the cardstock, and that big pink button is FABULOUS! Great, great card - and I also wanted to mention that I love the gnome card from your previous post. Love the papers you pieced onto the little guy. He's quite stylish. :)

Heh, heh, I arrived here from MY blog actually, because I saw you'd updated yours :0) And what a gorgeous visit this is ... I absolutely love the white on wood .. but that button!! Gracious what a gorgeous punch of unexpected and luscious colour it is!
